With Parvati still under lockdown and the “nano plague” panic growing, Pablo pushes past rumor and into the machinery behind it all. A visit to Corvalis Synthetics—dressed up as a high-end consult—turns into an ambush, forcing Pablo to fight her way out through gleaming showrooms and hidden surgical bays. What she finds there confirms the worst: morphs bearing the tell-tale growths are being altered and stripped, their stolen egos funneled off through illegal darkcasts to places far beyond the reach of Parvati’s law.
As local security chief Jaden Smith finally sees the scope of the operation, Pablo makes a hard choice: trust a frightened darkcaster tech who’s also trapped in the racket, pull what data she can, and get both of them off the aerostat before Nine Lives and their allies can close the net. The final chapter wraps the “Bump in the Night” investigation with loose ends tied just tight enough to survive—while leaving the larger conspiracy very much alive out in the dark.
About the Chronicle
Think Before Asking is an Eclipse Phase scenario (originally written by Anders Sandberg and adapted to second edition) run on the scum swarm Failance Recourse, a tangled mass of salvaged habitats drifting around Saturn. In this story, the player characters are Firewall sentinels embedded in a lawless, reputation-based society full of experimental morphs, illicit tech, and fringe philosophy.
Firewall suspects that a quantum-triggered antimatter device—capable of being detonated instantly from anywhere, by someone who can never be traced—has been smuggled into or through the swarm. The chronicle follows Vector, Nila, and Maxine as they navigate scum politics, shady pilots, and fragile social networks, trying to locate the weapon, understand who built it, and decide what to do with something too dangerous for anyone to own. It’s a mix of investigation, social engineering, and transhuman horror, steeped in Eclipse Phase’s trademark questions about identity, power, and how far you go to stop an existential threat.

Pablo’s search for the missing Duala Chatterjee pulls him away from Parvati’s glittering main strip and into the cramped, gray edges of the aerostat—where workers keep their heads down and no one calls the cops. A nervous Daikon employee in a synthmorph apartment gives Pablo his first real glimpse of what’s moving beneath the surface: quiet egocasting hardware, off-the-books morph traffic, and the kind of “indenture” that never seems to end.
Following the trail of names and shell companies, Pablo heads for the Saleo 120, a not-so-tourist-friendly casino tucked off the main thoroughfare. There, surrounded by bored strippers, stone-faced gamblers, and security that’s more for show than safety, he zeroes in on a jittery warehouse man with a gambling problem and ties to a high-end morph supplier.
Episode 2 pushes the investigation deeper into Parvati’s underworld, as Pablo starts buying answers with the only currencies that matter here: secrets, pressure, and the promise that things can always get worse.

On the pleasure aerostat of Parvati, nothing is supposed to be serious—until people start vanishing. Pablo Jimenez, a scum-born security specialist sleeved into a new morph, arrives on Venus expecting a well-paid bodyguard job for socialite Duala Chatterjee. Instead, he wakes to a lockdown, rumors of a “Titan nano plague,” and the unsettling news that his new employer is already missing.
As Pablo adjusts to his unfamiliar body and the heavy pull of Venusian gravity, he begins to dig into Parvati’s underbelly: burned-out clubs, wary locals, and workers who clearly know more than they’re willing to say. His first leads take him from a morph warehouse on the edge of the aerostat to a cramped back-alley apartment where someone is quietly running hardware that shouldn’t exist under a stationwide quarantine.
Episode 1 sets the stage for a tense, investigative crawl through Parvati’s neon-stained shadows, as Pablo starts piecing together how a rash of disappearances, suspicious morph traffic, and whispered plague rumors might all be connected.

With Fornjot unraveling around them and the oracle no longer content to stay boxed away in nested simulspaces, Vector, Nila, and Maxine race to salvage what they can: egos, evidence, and whatever future Firewall might still have. As they uncover what the oracle truly wants—and what it’s willing to do to get it—the sentinels are forced to confront a final choice between impossible options: knowledge or safety, duty or survival. In the end, the fate of a moon, a weapon, and a newborn god of code comes down to a single decision and how much of themselves they’re willing to burn to see tomorrow.

With a Reaper morph guarding the reactor and lethal radiation between them and the fail-safe, the sentinels are forced to admit that brute force won’t save Fornjot—or anyone on it. As the truth about the “oracle” crystallizes and the scale of the disaster becomes clear, Vector, Nila, and Maxine weigh personal ethics against Firewall’s priorities, debating how much they can salvage, who they can take with them, and what it really means to “secure” a threat you can’t destroy. Their only way forward may be to cut their losses, pocket the egos and intel they can, and walk away from a problem that might be too big for three people with guns and good intentions.

With one “penitent” taken down from the cross and another zealot drifting into the chapel, the team is forced to choose who they believe—and how much violence they’re willing to unleash in a place already drowning in suffering. Guided by a wounded researcher who insists they all should be dead, Vector, Nila, and Maxine trace the broken hierarchy of this covenant toward a missing specialist and the truth behind Project Wolf Father. What they find in the living quarters is not a mastermind, but the wreckage of someone who’s seen too much—and now the sentinels have to decide how far they’ll go to salvage an ego, a mission, and whatever slim chance remains to prevent an engineered apocalypse.

On the ice-scarred moon of Fornjot, the team pushes deeper into the covenant’s habitat, tracing glitching simulspaces, broken security, and eerily cheerful religious adverts toward the truth. A covert scouting run through the chapel reveals a horrific “ritual” of pain, penance, and repetition enacted by nearly identical child morphs—echoes of the same ego punishing itself in the name of salvation. With Vector confirming that their quarry lies entombed somewhere beneath the complex, Nila and Maxine must decide how far they’re willing to go, who—if anyone—can be trusted with what they know, and whether the most dangerous thing on Fornjot is the buried device or the desperate believer who wants everything to end.

Strapped into a tiny stealth shuttle with nowhere to go and nothing to do but talk, Vector, Nila, and Maxine finally let their guard down—sharing the ghosts of Mars, lost families, and the reasons they ended up working for Firewall in the first place.
Their confessions end when the scans come in: Fornjot is a tiny, ice-caked moon carved over with Hebrew script, a ring of domes orbiting faith and paranoia…and something has gone very wrong. Guardian drones hang frozen mid-patrol, two small bodies drift dead outside the main airlock, and the habitat’s systems are a chaotic mess of broken security, religious spam, and glitching VR.
Slipping in through an emergency lock, Vector quietly taps into the local mesh, only to find a place where nothing is properly hidden and nothing quite makes sense—half-finished work, scrambled safeguards, and a handful of remaining egos. Among them, a looping simulspace of two figures watching themselves watch themselves hints that whatever happened here isn’t done echoing yet.

Shaken but not broken after Nicotine Eldridge, Vector, Nila, and Maxine regroup in the tangled jungles of Swanskin Domino to pick apart what they’ve learned and where the trail leads next. As they trace the warhead’s strange route through the swarm, a fake engineering union and a reclusive Christian fork-cult on the distant moon Fornjot begin to form an unsettling pattern. Reporting back to their Firewall proxy in VR, they secure transport from a peculiar sentient ship with a very literal mindset—and start planning how to walk into an apocalypse-obsessed sanctuary without announcing they’ve come hunting for a weapon of mass destruction.
